Learn about Campspot’s suite of powerful existing and upcoming integration options.
Any software is only as good as the quality services it provides and the authentic relationships it keeps. As a platform conceived by campground operators for campground operators, Campspot has kept the importance of our customer relationships front and center. The strength of our services lies in the strategic combination of our native features and powerful integrations.
To quote our vice president of product and design, our integration philosophy is built upon two key principles:
First, we keep our development team focused on maintaining and iterating the core software elements as much as possible. Even with numerous, powerful integrations, at the end of the day we still wouldn’t be as good of a provider if we didn’t prioritize our software basics. Second, we’re working toward having a wide variety of integrations available right within Campspot that not only address the unique business needs of campground operators, but offer multiple options for any given vertical.
We hold this delicate balance for development in mind at all times when crafting our product roadmap—but most importantly, we listen first.
From attending many annual trade shows to speaking with members of our operator advisory council, we hear the input and needs of operators directly from the source. We seek to know what solutions will be the best operationally and revenue-wise for our customers. We then use this to inform how we align our development timeline and capacity. Finally, we decide whether we can fill a need better through native feature development or smart integration partnerships.
The best part about our integration philosophy is that we have no plans to slow down or limit the options for Campspot users. To learn more about what integrations we currently offer and the exciting milestones up next, charge ahead.

The full suite of third-party services currently available through Campspot are listed on our Integrations Homepage. Let’s briefly explore the functionality and benefits of each integration.
Camspot also has options for parks to connect to business intelligence and data ingestion tools—Power BI, Looker, Webhook, S3, SFTP—to empower operators’ decisions through intelligent data.
Last but certainly not least, we have our own Campspot Online Booking API, which enables the integration of our reservation availability and booking engine with our partner parks’ websites as well as third-party solutions.
Amid our exciting array of existing integrations lies our desire to keep iterating and developing greater value for our customers. As mentioned, we prioritize our integration improvement and development decisions directly from our customers’ feedback.
Below are a couple of the most commonly requested integrations from our Campspot partners.
We’re happy to share the upcoming integration releases that our customers can plan to utilize for 2025.

Some examples of additional integrations we’re exploring include document management platforms (e.g., waivers) and additional payment processors. Moving forward, we’re focused on continuing to develop new accounting and POS system integrations with our established middleware providers based on customer feedback. Lastly, we plan to add to our own APIs to encourage others to integrate with us.
While not an exhaustive list of our integration ambitions, we’re confidently moving in the direction of providing many robust integration options in-house while also allowing other systems to build within our software.
Whether it’s about our current offerings or the upcoming integrations we’re vetting, our M.O. is to provide integrations that add real value, not just volume. With Campspot, you fortunately receive both through our high-quality, trusted vendor options and dedication to developing more.
